It's just way more advanced than Zoom or Streamyard. I would happily have ditched OBS except there are no other free stream softwares that come close to the control OBS gives, for instance with the bitrate. So I have to activate it each time in the midi setup when I want to play something from iTunes, and then deactivate it again. With iShowU unplugged, it cannot add that input into the mix. The other downside is iTunes does not enter the mix now. Downside is if something were to go south in the stream like OBS dropping the audio, I won't know it, so I have to visually keep track of the audio VU meter in OBS to make sure it's still active. Since I am using a mixer to go into the computer as an input source, I can plug my headphones into the mixer to monitor the mix. So to test it I both recorded the mix, and created a test stream with iShowU Audio Capture deactivated, listened as a user on youtube to the broadcast, and in BOTH the audio is pristine, completely clean, free of any echo or delay. The audio was still routed thru OBS and into the stream free of delay.Ĭounter intuitive because the Built-in Output is still plugged in so I SHOULD be able to hear the mix in my headphones. I could not hear the sound in my headphones anymoreĢ. So I did something counter intuitive, I un-plugged the "iShowU Audio Capture" in the midi setup app, and then two things happened:ġ. Narcogen's answer above gave me the idea to look more in the direction of a doubled up output, which would create a delay/echo. I have found a solution, it's a good work around, not 100%, but it creates a clean stream, or clean recording (if that's what you're doing). Just discovered I cannot attach a video or audio file, so cannot demo the problem. The stream recordings all have both sounds, hence the “echo” effect. So to be clear, the effect I am calling a delay is this: If I snap my fingers near the microphone, I hear two snaps, the acoustic sound my fingers make outside of the earphones, and then a split second later my fingers snapping in the earphones. I have also tried the audio in the simplest format, that is the onboard computer speakers output, and onboard computer mic input. I have hooked up variations of external sources, like a USB mixer, also a Zoom H2n USB connected mic singly. The ONLY internal source that is clean of the delay is iTunes, I can play a sound file from there and stream it, and it’s clear of any echo. Also attached is an mkv file generated within OBS about 6 seconds long demonstrating the problem.Įcho is actually the wrong term for the problem, there is a delay on all external sound inputs - and some internal sources. Included: screenshots of all my settings in OBS, Mac system audio settings, and the midi setup interface. The sound quality is so bad, it has to improve otherwise I have to try a different encoder. Installed OBS two weeks ago, streamed live music events successfully (except sound quality) three times via Youtube live-streaming on my channel.
